Congratulations to former SCAPA Board Member Ken Atkinson on his induction into the 2026 Carolinas AGC Hall of Fame! Ken served as SCAPA's president from 2011-2013. Ken’s decades of leadership, service, and dedication have left a lasting impact on South Carolina’s asphalt and road-building industries. We congratulate Ken on this well-deserved recognition and thank him for his many contributions to our industry.

Congratulations to Carolinas AGC 2026 Hall of Fame Award winner Ken Atkinson with Palmetto Corp.! We here honored to celebrate Ken's incredible mark on the construction industry at our 2026 Summit & Expo in Asheville on July 25.

Upon earning an Associate Degree in Civil Engineering from Sumter Technical College in 1969, Ken Atkinson began his construction journey with the SC Highway Department. He then transitioned to the private sector, joining APAC as Branch Manager in Aiken, SC. Just six months later, his leadership abilities earned him a transfer to the SC Division office, where he served in increasingly significant roles, including Chief Estimator, Director of Field Operations and Asphalt Plants, and ultimately Vice President of the SC Division in 1994.

Ken retired from APAC in 2006, but his passion for the industry then led him to join Palmetto Corp as Vice President where he played a key role in expanding its services and supporting its vision for growth. As Vice President of Estimating and Business Development, he continued to shape projects, relationships, and opportunities until his retirement in December 2022.

Ken has devoted countless hours to advancing the construction industry by serving on the Carolinas AGC/SCDOT Joint Committee for more than 20 years, and has been an active leader within the SC Asphalt Pavement Association for 25 years. Even in retirement, Ken continues to support the industry through KAA Consulting, LLC, where he provides consulting services specializing in energy and fuel tax recovery, forensic IT, and telecommunications expense recovery.

Congratulations, Ken!

Representative Brewer has been a strong advocate for South Carolina’s asphalt industry, infrastructure investment, and modernization policies that help deliver projects more efficiently. We appreciate his leadership, accessibility, and willingness to work collaboratively with our industry to advance the infrastructure that connects South Carolina’s communities.
